    static String
    canonical(String spelling)
     
    static List<String>
    canonical(List<String> offered)
    What another program offers, as canonical types: one text and one image however many spellings it wrote, every other type as it is.
    static @Nullable String
    spellingIn(String canonical, List<String> offered)
    The spelling to ask another program for.
    static List<String>
    spellings(String canonical)
    The spellings to announce for a canonical type on X11 and Wayland, so that a program that knows only an older one still finds it.
